Quotes of David Baldacci :
1. People who have expertise just love to share it. That’s human nature.
2. Fiction is sort of a way to set the record straight, and let people at least believe that justice can be achieved and the right outcomes can occur.
3. I’m tired of people screaming about price and forgetting about the content.
4. Most people associate reading with laying on the beach. They don’t see that it’s crucial for a democracy!
5. But if I worried too much about publishers’ expectations, I’d probably paralyze myself and not be able to write anything.
6. People have given me classified information, but always with the disclaimer ‘This can never end up in a book.’ And it never does.
7. I’d read a lot of thrillers about politicians and presidents, but never one where you flip the stereotypes and make good people bad and bad people good.
8. I look for material that both interest me and challenges me. If I am drawn to the material and I have to work hard at it, the characters and the plots reflect the hours and hours of research.
